The Nevi'im (נְבִיאִים, Nəḇî'îm, neh-vee-EEM, "spokespersons") are a collection of ancient prophetic writings compiled by Jews which makes up the middle section of the Tanakh, between the Torah and Ketuvim. The compilation is divided into two sections, the Former Prophets and Latter Prophets, and each section is comprised of four books. Traditionally, the Nevi'im was compiled into eight scrolls, one for each book, but they are more frequently being printed into a codex (what we now call a "book") format.

Christianity
When Christians created their old testaments, they included each of the books of the Nevi'im, but they did not preserve the order or grouping of the books. For example, the Jews have a single book of Samuel and Kings, but Christians split them both into two, and the Jews group The Twelve and place them in the center of their bible, but Christians split them and place them at the end of their old testaments.
